Since the 1972 Stockholm conference, civil society has played a vital role in pushing for the implementation of international policies and frameworks uplifting social justice and environmental projections. Right now, we need governments and businesses to listen to civil society and take urgent and bold action in alignment with the goals of climate justice frameworks and the Paris Climate Agreement. WECAN will be engaging with governments and financial institutions at Stockholmd+50, advocating for women's leadership, just climate action, and the end of fossil fuel production through the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
